Breastfeeding

Problems with letdown? Or supply issue??

My baby is 4.5 months old now. Up to this point everything has gone great with breastfeeding. I was pumping every 3 hrs at work and getting min 3 oz per session. I decided to start training and eatig fewer calories to get fit again and cut my cals to 1800. I immediately w/in 2 days noticed a drop in how much milk I was pumping. It went from 3oz to 12 oz per session and we started using up our freezer stash for daycare :. I realized that I may need more calories so I increased back up to 2200 and am drinking a ton of water. Also started fenugreek 3 caps 3 times a day and have done that for 5 days now. I'm still not getting enough milk!! I'm not sure if I'm not producing enough or if it's an issue with letdown. Baby seems to get milk just fine even after I pump and she gulps like its coming out fast. This has never been a problem for me...What gives?? I'm panicking! TIA!
